Good morning football fans! Here are the five things you need to know coming out of Wednesday to get your morning started right:

The Seattle Seahawks are hosting QB Colin Kaepernick for a workout, with a view to potentially signing him to back up starter Russell Wilson. There has been much discussion about Kaepernick being blackballed from the NFL for his political views and attitudes, but one team at least is prepared to kick the tires on him as a backup option.

The Buffalo Bills have cut offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio. Kouandjio was a former second-round pick with a lot of potential, but injuries have been a constant issue for him in the NFL, and he has been limited to just 640 total snaps as a pro. Last season saw him play in ten games, starting five, where he allowed just one sack and twelve additional hurries.
